No trends due to no recent sales. Trade active with good demand and good buyer attendance. CME Feeder cattle closed $1 to $1.60 in the black. That left the Jan contract on a net $3.95 gain for the week. The CME Feeder Cattle Index weakened another $2.32 weaker to $216.05 for 12/11.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
